A Chalkboard For The Season

Fall is my very favorite time of the year. I love the cool, crisp air and the blaze of color when the leaves change. I love the food we cook in our kitchen this time of year. Warm, cozy comfort food like lasagna, stews and pies. But most of all,

I. Love. Pumpkins.

I don’t usually spend money on Fall decor because I don’t want to store it.

But I do spend a small fortune on pumpkins 🙂

Every single year.

Today I’m sharing an easy, very inexpensive craft project that can be easily changed to compliment any Season or occasion.

That’s my kinda project!

I picked up this great wooden frame with the glass still in it for $4 at Goodwill several months ago and left it to die in a pile of similar crap out in my garage. So when I got home from work early on Thursday itching to do something, it was my next victim.

Here is y’all’s supply list:

Picture frame with glass

$1 craft bottle of chalkboard paint

Chalk

White paint

I applied three coats of the chalkboard paint directly to the glass , allowing it to dry thoroughly between each coat. This is imperative or you will have a BIG mess on your hands and you just threw your $4 out the car window. Once the paint is dry let the frame cure over night.

For the frame I simply dry brushed the white paint on to the frame and then wiped it off a little with a damp paper towel.
